Mass-market lighters have a mediocre look and shape, economical materials, and evoke a feeling of cheapness.
With this concept, we wanted to challenge the current standards and create a model that could give people more than just a lighter - an aesthetic pleasure and a pleasant feeling in the hand.
The Arco lighter concept was developed for the Ciao Lighters and IED competition. It won second place and was acquired by Ciao Lighters
Arco is extremely recognizable. It is a pleasure to touch thanks to its finish and ergonomic shape.
It rests comfortably in your hand, making you want to hold it, twist it or click it.
There are two versions of the lighter, Pizza and Flint.
The first one lights up thanks to a wheel that you spin, while the other has a special mechanism that is triggered as soon as the button is pressed.

Despite its minimalism, the Arco lighter is designed with attention to detail.
For example, an important tactile detail is the brand's embossed soft-touch logo in the shape of a fire, which is positioned so that the user can not only see it, but can also feel it.
Soft lines are used with attention to detail, creating a harmonious overall look.
Contrasting color, matte and glossy finishes with a calm basic finish are eye-catching without tiring the eyes.
Various color and finish combinations can be used.
